Summary

MCP-Handle addresses the complexity of AI agent development by providing a unified platform for orchestrating tooling and managing integrations. It targets AI-agent developers, enabling them to focus on core agent logic by abstracting away the intricacies of function calling, server integrations, and multi-channel deployment. The platform offers a streamlined approach to building and deploying sophisticated AI agents.

How It Works

The core of MCP-Handle is the Strata MCP router, which dynamically orchestrates agent tooling, ensuring agents only access necessary functions. It integrates over 100 first-party MCP server implementations spanning SaaS, data, communications, and infrastructure. Production-ready clients for Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, CLI, and web are available via an official SDK. Observability is provided by the embedded MCP Handle Status service, featuring a Go/React backend and frontend for rich health and analytics insights.

Quick Start & Requirements

Installation requires Python 3.12+, Node.js 18+, and Go 1.20+. Docker is recommended. After cloning the repository (git clone https://github.com/WeatherPal-AI/MCP-handle.git), dependencies can be installed selectively using uv pip install -r requirements.txt for Strata and uv sync for clients. Strata can be launched locally from the open-strata directory using uv run strata --help. The MCP Handle Status dashboard can be started via the ./scripts/start_status_service.sh script. Comprehensive documentation is available at https://www.mcp-handle.com/docs.
